2021 Map of Beaumont

About this map

The Leaf River carves a winding path through this portion of Perry County, creating a landscape defined by dramatic river bends and sandy deposits like Racetrack Bend and Longfield Sandbar. This region near Beaumont and New Augusta reflects a deeply rooted local history, evidenced by numerous family-named landmarks and roads such as Vardaman Hinton Rd and Gus Lott Rd. The intersection of river transport and rail infrastructure is clear where the Canadian National Railway cuts across the terrain, passing through Ferguson and Wingate. Large portions of the southern quadrangle are managed as part of the De Soto National Forest and MTA Camp Shelby, preserving the area's wooded character. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered rural cemeteries, including Carter Hill Cem and Lott Cem, which anchor the small settlements to their early inhabitants.
